Dumfries (Dumfries and Galloway) weather

Headline:

Today:

A quite cloudy morning with the chance of the odd shower. Then becoming dry with bright or sunny spells developing through the day. Light winds. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Tonight:

Staying largely dry through the evening, perhaps the odd shower in the west overnight. Clear spells and variable amounts of cloud will allow some frost to develop in the east. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

Wednesday:

Mainly dry on Wednesday with bright or sunny spells, the odd shower may develop in the southwest. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Rain for a time on Thursday. Rain and hill snow at times on Friday and very strong winds developing. Strong winds and wintry showers gradually easing through Saturday.

This looks like being and unsettled period across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts. During Sunday and into Monday, another deep area of low pressure looks likely to move across the UK from the Atlantic, bringing wet and windy conditions to most if not all parts. Further spells of wet and windy weather look like moving east from the Atlantic to affect the UK during the rest of the period too, with drier, brighter spells in between. There is the potential for further weather warnings or even a named storm at some point. Temperatures overall are likely to end up being around or slightly above average, though wind and rain will make it feel chilly, and brief cool spells are likely between weather systems.

Generally mild at first, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds, alternating with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes, but with time these should become increasingly confined to northern parts. Pressure may build across southern areas, which would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost with temperatures falling correspondingly.
